The Treatment

What Is A Hydrafacial?

A Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, medical-grade, multi-step facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin using a patented vortex-suction device. It removes dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously delivering serums, offering a “glass skin” effect with no downtime. Suitable for all skin types.

At Canvas & Glow AesthetIQ, we perform Hydrafacial on the newest Syndeo platform with access to every available booster serum, integrated LED light therapy (red and blue), and lymphatic drainage. It pairs exceptionally well with microneedling and medical-grade chemical peels.

The Protocol

Seven Steps. One Session. Completely Customized.

Every Hydrafacial follows a seven-step protocol. Each step uses a different handpiece tip and solution. The entire treatment takes about 45 to 60 minutes with zero downtime.

1. Lymphatic Drainage

Gentle suction along lymphatic pathways promotes circulation, reduces puffiness, and primes skin for active ingredients.

2. Microdermabrasion

Crystal-free exfoliating tip removes dead skin cells using vortex suction — gentler than traditional methods, suitable for sensitive skin.

3. Gentle Peel

A mild glycolic and salicylic acid blend dissolves debris inside pores without irritation, redness, or downtime.

4. Extraction

Patented vortex suction painlessly extracts debris while simultaneously infusing a cleansing solution. No broken capillaries. No irritation.

5. Targeted Booster

Your esthetician selects from our complete booster lineup based on your specific skin concerns — this is where the treatment becomes truly yours.

6. LED Light Therapy

Red or blue LED light stimulates collagen, reduces inflammation, and targets acne bacteria — selected based on your skin needs that day.

7. Hydration Infusion

An antioxidant-rich nourishing serum saturates your skin and locks in moisture — producing the signature Hydrafacial glow that lasts for days.

Customization

Every Booster. Every Concern.

Boosters are concentrated super serums infused during step five of the protocol. Canvas & Glow carries the complete Hydrafacial lineup, plus brands including Circadia, Glytone, JLO Beauty, and Omorovicza.

The Add-Ons

LED Light Therapy & Lymphatic Drainage

LED Light Therapy

Red light (630–700nm) stimulates fibroblast activity, increasing collagen and elastin over time. Blue light (415nm) targets the bacteria responsible for acne and reduces active breakouts and excess oil.

Lymphatic Drainage

Gentle, rhythmic suction along lymph pathways moves fluid, reduces puffiness, and promotes circulation. It also prepares the skin to absorb active ingredients more effectively at the start of each session.

Your Appointment

What to Expect

Before

No special preparation needed. Come with a clean face or we will cleanse you when you arrive. If using prescription retinoids, let us know so we can adjust the peel strength.

During

The full Platinum Hydrafacial takes 45–60 minutes. Most patients describe the extraction step as a gentle suction sensation. Many fall asleep during the LED portion. There is no pain at any point.

After

Zero downtime. No redness. No peeling. Apply makeup and return to your normal routine immediately. Results are visible from day one and continue improving over 48–72 hours.

For best long-term results, we recommend monthly Hydrafacial treatments. Monthly sessions compound over time, progressively improving pore size, skin texture, hydration, and overall clarity.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a Hydrafacial?

We recommend monthly treatments for optimal results. Monthly sessions allow your esthetician to adjust boosters seasonally and maintain consistent improvements in skin quality. Some patients come every two weeks before special events.

Is Hydrafacial safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The treatment is gentle enough for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. Your esthetician can adjust exfoliation levels and select boosters formulated for reactive skin types, like Epicutis Lipid Recovery or NassifMD Hydraglucan.

Will I see results after one treatment?

Yes. Visible improvement in hydration, pore clarity, and skin radiance is apparent immediately and continues improving over the following two to three days. A series of treatments produces cumulative benefits in texture, tone, and fine lines.

Is there any downtime?

None. You can apply makeup and return to your normal routine immediately. There is no redness, peeling, or recovery period.

Can I combine Hydrafacial with other treatments?

Absolutely. Hydrafacial pairs well with Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, chemical peels, and PRP treatments. Your provider can help sequence these for the best outcome.

Which booster should I choose?

Your esthetician will recommend based on your skin’s current condition. Aging concerns typically call for Hydrafillic with Pep9 or ReGen GF+. Acne-prone skin benefits from Murad Clarifying. Hyperpigmentation responds to ZO Brightalive. Sensitive skin does well with Epicutis or NassifMD.

What is the difference between Hydrafacial and a regular facial?

Traditional facials rely on manual extraction and surface-level products. Hydrafacial uses patented vortex technology for painless deep extraction, medical-grade serums infused under pressure, and integrated LED light therapy. The results are clinically measurable.

Do you treat men?

Yes. Hydrafacial is effective for all skin types and is increasingly popular among men, addressing congestion, razor irritation, and overall skin quality without any visible downtime.
